Cover Story: Justice — Osama bin Laden Destroyed!
May 6 2011, Published 9:51 a.m. ET
Few Americans will ever forget where they were on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, when evil appeared out of a cloudless sky and changed our lives forever. And just as surely, millions will long remember the night of May 1, 2011, when President Barack Obama broke into Sunday evening TV programming and told the world that Osama bin Laden — mastermind of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that slaughtered nearly 3,000 innocent souls at New York City’s World Trade Center; the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; and in a field in Shanksville, Pa. — was dead.
The gaunt, bearded face of modern terror met his end not in some remote mountain cave but in a compound in suburban Abbottabad, Pakistan. In the early hours of May 1, Navy SEALs and CIA paramilitary forces under direct orders from President Obama ended a decade-long manhunt — and, with a bullet through the al-Qaeda leader’s left eye, avenged the worst mass murder ever perpetrated on U.S. soil, which shattered countless lives, launched two ongoing wars and traumatized a nation.
